Political frustrations

Okay, this is not poetic but it needs to be said... Don't engage in political education that involves hatred. It is becoming quite popular nowadays. Don't do it!
Even if the person has some good/legitimate points (not to mention lots of money, several syndicated radio shows, and several book deals) what he doesn't have is the spirit.
We are allowed to have differing views, we should have differing views. 
We should never, ever, ever consider ourselves "Arguing with Idiots." We may discuss with fellow children of God, but we are already wrong if we are starting out with the idea of idiots.
We use the Spirit and unbiased educational tools (past voting records, etc.) to help us make political decisions and we should allow others the same privilege.
When we listen to these hatemongers and their urgent messages we become urgent ourselves and begin to believe everything they teach. Yes, I said teach. This is not the Lord's way. His way is that the teacher and the learner might both be edified together.
Good points+legitimate arguments+namecalling+sarcasm+egotism does not equal edifying listening or reading
